At Paysend, we want to make sure your experience is as smooth and straightforward as possible. To help answer any questions or clear up any uncertainties, we’ve gathered some of the most common FAQs about our services, fees, and security. Whether you’re new to Paysend or already a pro, these FAQs will guide you through your money transfer journey.
Fees and exchange rates: What’s the deal?
When you send money internationally with Paysend, you’ll be happy to know that we keep our fees simple and upfront. Here’s a quick rundown:
- We charge a fixed fee per transaction. This makes it easy to know your costs before you hit ‘confirm and send.’ Please note, there are some corridors and countries that have a variable fee rate depending on your sending amount.
- Paysend keeps fees low – often as little as $1.99 or £1 per transfer, but it depends on the transfer method (e.g., bank account or card transfer) and the destination.
- The exchange rate determines how much foreign currency your recipient will get for the amount you send. For example, if you're sending USD to EUR, the exchange rate shows how many euros the recipient will receive for every dollar.
- At Paysend, the exchange rate is locked in at the time of the transaction, so there are no surprises. What you see is what your recipient gets!
No hidden charges – everything you need to know will be shown in the app before you confirm the transfer.
